I do agree with dilalio, however, I'm not a gas engineer. Otherwise how do we detect gas leaks no matter how. My leak would never have been detected only for having my smart meter replaced. Thank you everyone for your comments.

Exactly correct what you say and when the other engineer came out, he couldn't believe it and didn't understand why it wasn't sorted. Next time I get the boiler serviced shall I ask the engineer to do a tightness test, and explain what's happened previously?

Nothing on the label and nothing on his warning notice, only that it had failed it's tightness test.

I think your right, due to the awkwardness. I've lived in this property for 4yrs and it must have been leaking, however, our gas bill wasn't high.

I was with the engineer when he found the leak, but we couldn't understand how the nut had become loose. We had to part the pipe next to it so the engineer so he could get his adjustable and grips to tighten it as it was in a tight space.

No he didn't say.

Hi gas112, the leak was found on the compression elbow in the loft which connects the pipe to the boiler. The compression nut was loose.

Hi Muggles, I had my gas and electric smart replaced today and upgraded. When the engineer did a tightness test on the gas it failed and he said there was a leak. I had my boiler serviced 2 weeks ago and everything was good and I wondered why this wasn't picked up on the service. I called...

Hi, do gas engineers do a gas tightness test when you have your boiler serviced to check for gas leaks? Regards Dave

Thank you for your reply. I will break the tile and extend the pipe Thank you

Hi all, I'm going to cover my wall tiles with 10mm shower panels. This means the pipes on my shower mixer need extending 10mm. Can I use a pipe extender connection to extend the pipe? Photo attached. Kind regards Dave

Thank you Stuckinarut

Hi, can anyone tell me how to open a Horstmann HR2 thermostat, as there are no screws on the casing? I would like to replace this for something more modern also, if you could tell me which please. Photo attached. Regards Dave
